I’m trying to download the client software for MacOS + Apple Silicon (v1.3.4099.99). The issue is the Pritunl.pkg file does not have a checksum on the company Website. I have not installed it because I don’t have anything to verify it against. Does anyone know where I could find the checksum for the Pritunl.pkg file or any other way to determine the authenticity of the installer and contents? ---

The download links for Pritunl v1.3.4099.99 are available here [https://github.com/pritunl/pritunl-client-electron/releases/tag/1.3.4099.99](https://github.com/pritunl/pritunl-client-electron/releases/tag/1.3.4099.99) all the hashes are available here [pritunl-client-electron/SHA256 at master · pritunl/pritunl-client-electron · GitHub](https://github.com/pritunl/pritunl-client-electron/blob/master/SHA256) I checked both the Pritunl.exe and Pritunl.pkg.zip from that release and the hashes are matching. The linux packages don’t have hashes available. All packages are signed and verified from the [repo.pritunl.com](http://repo.pritunl.com) server when installing with a package manager. But there is no option to validate the linux packages downloaded from the GitHub releases. ---

Thanks @zach for that information. I was able to check the Pritunl.pkg.zip file and that has matches. I then unzipped that package and Pritunl.pkg file appeared. The Pritunl.pkg file is what actually gave the checksum of 4b9db9adbcb5eea4be822d5b8f83c536a4e88b8361f87e9ea6c19fdebe979029. I apologize for the error in my original post. The issue is the Pritunl.pkg file does not have a checksum on your [pritunl-client-electron/SHA256 at master · pritunl/pritunl-client-electron · GitHub](https://github.com/pritunl/pritunl-client-electron/blob/master/SHA256) page. So, I was hesitant to install it because I couldn’t verify it. I’m newer to this and I’m definitely open to learning, so please help me understand if I’m missing something. I appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you. ---

Thanks @williamclark. Adding @zach for awareness. I realized that I made some misstatements in my initial question. I have since corrected the post based on my updated understanding of what is going on and what I’m looking for. I am not looking for linux, just for macOS download. I was provided with a GitHub repository and the Pritunl.pkg.zip file’s checksum matched what the company provided, so I downloaded it and unzipped it. The Pritunl.pkg file appeared. I checked the hash for it and it is 4b9db9adbcb5eea4be822d5b8f83c536a4e88b8361f87e9ea6c19fdebe979029. The issue is the Pritunl.pkg file does not have a checksum on the company Website.

You can use `wget` from the terminal to download the file without macOS automatically extracting it then compare the hashes.
